Like the individual amphibian species that are resistant to chytridiomycosis (see above), understanding why persistent populations maintain low intensity infections with Bd is very important and could lead to methods to control the disease in wild populations. The presence on the skin of specific types of symbiotic bacteria that discourage the growth of Bd (Harris et al., 2009 a and b). 2  Amphibians or amphibian populations that normally have large numbers of these bacteria in the skin might be more resistant to developing chytridiomycosis.
Employees qualify for FMLA leave when either they or a family member suffer from a âserious health condition.â The condition must either prevent the worker from performing his or her job, or require the worker to care for a family member. Employees can use FMLA for: Pregnancy, prenatal complications, or the adoption/fostering of a child.
